Raycasting
Raycasting is a technique for extending a ray from your game object into the world to see if any
colliders are in its path. It is commonly used for aiming, calculating distances, and more. The name
comes from its coordinate geometry roots where a ray is a type of line where one end has a specific
point in space and the other can extend to infinity.
